20 new environmental officers for Grieskirchen - make a sustainable future!

Grieskirchen, Österreich - In Upper Austria there is a breath of fresh air for environmental and nature conservation! A total of 20 committed citizens have now been appointed certified environmental officers, including three from the Grieskirchen district. The course, the guiding principle of which is "implementing sustainability locally", imparted practical knowledge of topics such as environmental, climate and soil protection in order to make the participating communities sustainable. [Tips] reports that the certificates were presented at a solemn event in Linz and that are also Wilhelm Mair from Weibern, Margareta Oberndorfer from Meggenhofen and Christina Sporn from Bad Schallerbach.

These new environmental officers should not only act as multipliers in their communities, but also promote local strategies to coping with the climate crisis. In addition, the environmental and climate councilor Stefan Kaineder emphasized the essential role of the communities in the fight against climate change. In addition to the theory, an important part of the course was also the practical imparting of knowledge that can be implemented directly in municipal projects. [My district] emphasizes that the course also included relevant topics such as climate change and natural hazards that are essential for the challenges of the present and future.

commitment to the future

The other two new environmental officers from the Grieskirchen district are Judith Wassermair from Aschach on the Danube and Harald Geissler from Waizenkirchen. Together they committed themselves to actively support the energy transition in their communities. Initiatives such as the establishment of energy communities, climate -neutral heating systems and the promotion of photovoltaics are in focus. This shows how important personal commitment and local solutions are to counter the challenges of climate change. [My district] reports that the project creates the basis for sustainable solutions by strengthening civic engagement.

The topic of citizen participation cannot be neglected in this context. The approach to encourage people to shape people through local environmental groups is no coincidence. [Federal Environment Agency] emphasizes that citizen participation enables a lived democracy and an active dialogue between the population and decision -makers. Workshops and interactive tools are developed to give citizens the opportunity to participate directly in the event of sustainability -relevant developments.

Overall, the appointed environmental officers draw a promising picture: With their newly acquired knowledge and commitment, they will make a significant contribution to making their communities worth living and sustainable. At a time when the ecological footprint is becoming increasingly pressing, such initiatives can make the decisive difference - "there is something", you could only say!
